.isEmpty()

The .isEmpty() method returns true if a string has no content. It returns false if the string has content.

Example 1

The example below applies the .isEmpty() method to the strings drink and food:

// isStringEmpty.java
class isStringEmpty {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String drink = "lemonade";
String food = "";
System.out.println(drink.isEmpty());
System.out.println(food.isEmpty());
}
}

This will print the following output:
